Evra: It Was Incredible When Terry Missed

April 6, 2011

Patrice Evra has reflected on our European Cup win in Moscow in 2008 ahead of our Champions League game against Chelsea.

“Amazing, incredible. It was incredible,” said Evra to ITV. “When John Terry was taking that last penalty, if the ball went in, we wouldn’t be champions. When he missed the penalty, I was convinced we were going to win the Champions League. I think it is my most important trophy. I want to win three because I’ve only got one, and I’ve lost two finals. If we make the final again and lose, maybe I’ll ask the manager not to play me anymore in the Champions League!”

To the victors go the spoils. Right, For 3 years we have had to endure the pro ChAv establishment going on and on about how they should have won that final in 2008. It is so refreshing to see the manager and Evra's interviews reminding everyone that we were fully deserving in our play and only the faintest of luck, and the fact that Tevez couldn't hit a barn door that night, kept CSKA Landon from being in a very big hole at the half. In the end we didn't cheat, we didn't rely on a doggy call. We simply won the game. And the trophy is still in our cabinet last time I checked.

Come on lads, let's get a couple of away goals and maybe pinch the game. Would love to shut them up again. Without an english ref to give this match to them, I rather fancy our chances.

Did the inside story ever come out about what was up with Ronaldo that night. He missed his pen as well, but seemed to be mentally unstable through much of the second half. Tevez was useless as well, but Ronaldo was just bizarre. Didn't even react to us winning the match. I have always thought it was down to nerves and his knowledge that he was going to leave. But maybe we will never know.

"We mutually agreed that we would not renew our relationship,' Coca-Cola said in a statement. 'We wish Wayne well in his career.'

Graeme McDowell the 2010 US Open champion has revealed that he will not take part in the Masters par-three warm-up game because it clashes with tonight's Champions League game. The ardent Manchester United supporter said "I'm disappointed, but hopefully there will by more Masters tournaments for me."

Wanted to see Rooney in central midfield, with Berbatov and Little Pea flanked by Nani and Valencia, and get enough away goals to totally freak 'em - but guess we should be thankful 2 strikers have made it into the starting XI.
